Stock Market Bouncing Around and Gut Problems

The sun is out and Spring is definitely upon us so surely it’s time to be more positive about the future. But the US stock market is bouncing around, mainly downwards, while the UK market is somewhat more positive. Are US investors dumping US stocks and buying UK stocks instead I wonder?  I have been buying stocks lately as when companies I hold issue positive trading statements or improved forecasts and the share price rises I tend to buy more.

There has been a lot of media coverage on gut problems of late, which I suffer from. See this article in the Telegraph for example: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness/diet/gut-health/antibiotics-ruined-my-gut-health-heres-how-im-back-on-track/ .

It blames the cause on taking too many antibiotics which could be right. Treatments suggested are changes to diet to improve the microbiome, to include more fibre, and take probiotics. I have been trying several approaches. But it must be a common problem as TV advertisements at considerable expense now promote expensive products. I’ll let you know if anything works.
